iphone - Is there a way to select the bit rate while using AVPlayer for HTTP live audio streaming? -

I am using AVPlayer to stream audio content distributed in two quality formats.

The problem is that there is a delay when playing higher than the lower format (automatically when Wi-Fi is available).

Is there a way to manually select a desired quality to prevent that delay?

Update: Before you vote please, please note that the exact and approved answer was at that time Which was during iOS 4.

I have searched this very question for myself and I did not get any answer which means that I am very positive there is no way to do this. Apple Document What you can do with things always , Do not give all its details, but if you look at all available properties, methods, etc. then you will know that there is nothing to zoom the stream.

I think this is the whole issue of HLS. Apple iPhone users want the best streaming experience possible if they control the developer, which flow is being used, then it controls to dump that purpose. The system knows best if changes are made on the streams, if the phone can not handle additional bandwidth, then it will not switch to high current (or not) some things I have found that you want to see them ... < P> Is your files loaded in increments of 10 seconds? If it is more then you may want to shorten them.

Some file conversion programs do not get a bit rate at all, and if this is the case then your phone might think that it has bandwidth, say, a 96 kbps feed, but in fact your feed 115 Kbps is Take a look at the answer accepted in this post:
